Prep time: 2 minutes
Cook time: 5 minutes
Serves: 2

Ingredients

4 large eggs
1/4 cup whole milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Instructions

1. Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and add the milk.
2. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk until the mixture is well combined and the egg whites and yolks are fully incorporated.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter.
4. Once the butter has melted and begins to foam, pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
5. Let the eggs sit undisturbed for a few moments until they begin to set around the edges.
6. Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, pushing them from the edges to the center and forming soft curds.
7. Continue cooking, stirring gently, until the eggs are just set but still slightly runny, then remove from heat as they will continue to cook with residual heat.
8. Serve immediately for optimal taste and texture.
